Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 3: Cyclosporiasis
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wow, Larry Natalie and a massive audience out there. This
- 0:04Speaker 1: issue about tainted lettuce or possibly tainted Taco Bell products
- 0:11Speaker 1: leading to the sickening of hundreds of Americans with explosive
- 0:16Speaker 1: diarrhea just keeps growing, especially in the Midwest. It's hit
- 0:21Speaker 1: the heartland hard, so Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia.
- 0:28Speaker 1: You know, the Giants opening campus in West Virginia. The
- 0:32Speaker 1: coach he better ordered him to stay away from Daco Bell, right,
- 0:36Speaker 1: or any of those lettuce Probably no ruffage, you know,
- 0:40Speaker 1: just straight protein guys while we're here in West Virginia.
- 0:44Speaker 1: But it just keeps growing in scope. And yesterday we
- 0:48Speaker 1: had on doctor Gregory Poland, the health and medical expert
- 0:51Speaker 1: who's the leader in vaccines and infectious diseases at the
- 0:55Speaker 1: Mayo Clinic and president of the Atrio Research Institute of
- 0:58Speaker 1: New York. Tacular credentials. You know, nobody challenges him, and
- 1:03Speaker 1: so he was explaining the nuances of all of this
- 1:07Speaker 1: so an average person could understand. But man, he basically
- 1:11Speaker 1: slammed the FEDS, the FDA, the CDC, those groups that
- 1:16Speaker 1: should be monitoring this really because of the DOGE cuts.
- 1:20Speaker 1: You know that really took a great number of the
- 1:23Speaker 1: personnel and gave him early employment or put them on
- 1:26Speaker 1: the shelf. Let's go back to what he had to
- 1:28Speaker 1: say yesterday.
- 1:30Speaker 2: The US has substantially cut funding for surveillance and outbreak response,
- 1:35Speaker 2: and in fact, the FDA had put into place a
- 1:39Speaker 2: traceability rule so that outbreaks could be traced back quickly
- 1:44Speaker 2: and easily to their source. Those foods recalled. Not only
- 1:48Speaker 2: were personnel and funding cut, but this rule was delayed
- 1:53Speaker 2: until July of twenty twenty eight.
- 1:56Speaker 1: And then he continued to give advice to our many listeners,
- 1:59Speaker 1: which is needed advice as this scare continues.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Wash your hands before and after handling produce, Wash the
- 2:09Speaker 2: food thoroughly, eat the food cooked, not raw. That doesn't
- 2:14Speaker 2: work with lettuce, And with lettuce, I wouldn't buy the
- 2:18Speaker 2: chopped stuff right now, buy a whole head and remove
- 2:22Speaker 2: the outer layers of produce.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Now, I hope Natalie, after that advice, you who would
- 2:28Speaker 1: always have a salad before your meal, which is the
- 2:31Speaker 1: tradition of a lot of household especially Italians and Greeks,
- 2:34Speaker 1: you got abundjalad. Yes you had said I'd rather be
- 2:38Speaker 1: safe than sorry. Yes, did you take his expert advice.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I did.
- 2:43Speaker 4: I actually only buying lettuce that was grown in the
- 2:46Speaker 4: United States.
- 2:48Speaker 5: I see it was grown in a foreign country. I'm
- 2:50Speaker 5: not going to buy it.
- 2:51Speaker 4: And I'm trying to buy local, you know, go to
- 2:53Speaker 4: my local farm stand because then I know it's from
- 2:56Speaker 4: New Jersey, and I am taking out the outer layers
- 3:00Speaker 4: and washing everything.
- 3:01Speaker 6: Really, Now, when you go to a restaurant or you
- 3:03Speaker 6: go to a fast food place, would you eat their lettuce?
- 3:06Speaker 1: I probably won't.
- 3:07Speaker 5: I probably won't. I probably will skip a salad from
- 3:09Speaker 5: a restaurant at the moment.
- 3:10Speaker 6: Yeah, because you have control over the produce that you have.
- 3:14Speaker 6: You can clean it, you can clean your hands. You
- 3:16Speaker 6: don't know what they're doing, true, I have not seen
- 3:20Speaker 6: their hands.
- 3:21Speaker 4: And that little sign in the bathroom where all employees
- 3:24Speaker 4: want their hands, I don't know if they're really listening
- 3:27Speaker 4: to that.
- 3:27Speaker 1: To add to what doctor Poland said, this is just normal.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Forget this recent scare. Contaminated salad greens alone are responsible
- 3:37Speaker 1: for each year two point three million cases of illness
- 3:43Speaker 1: and five point two billion in healthcare.
- 3:45Speaker 5: Course, it's always the lettuce. It's the lettuce, it's cilantro.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Although yeah, cilantro is one of the things. They're saying.
- 3:52Speaker 6: The strawberries too. They're talking about strawberries, not all berries.
- 3:55Speaker 6: But there's a lot of restaurants that are just saying,
- 3:58Speaker 6: you know what, we're getting rid of all berries unless
- 4:00Speaker 6: somebody asks, you can't get them.
- 4:03Speaker 5: I love strawberry.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Well they're coming back. Well take me back. Tainted fruits
- 4:07Speaker 1: and veggies sicken more Americans than any of the other
- 4:11Speaker 1: food sources. So he's on He was totally on it.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Mexico has now said forget just the recall of iceberg
- 4:18Speaker 1: lettuce from central Mexico where Taylor, the big firm, grows
- 4:23Speaker 1: its letters. They are now investigating Taylors. So it's like
- 4:26Speaker 1: a tag team. It's the United States, it's also Mexico.
- 4:30Speaker 1: But RFK Junior must have been listening. He must have
- 4:34Speaker 1: been listening to our interview, because man, he couldn't wait
- 4:38Speaker 1: to get to the microphones and start combating what doctor
- 4:42Speaker 1: Craig gray Poland said and what others have said.
- 4:45Speaker 7: We have an extensive forensics, epidemiological forensics, and we've identified
- 4:52Speaker 7: the source of the outbreak.
- 4:56Speaker 1: So make America healthy again. Maha, I like some of
- 5:01Speaker 1: what RFK Junior has talked about and other things. He's
- 5:04Speaker 1: not your dollar short in a day late. This really
- 5:07Speaker 1: requires cooperation Mexico, yep, United States experts like doctor Gregory Poland,
- 5:14Speaker 1: because this won't only get worse. It will only get worse.
- 5:18Speaker 1: As we talked about other fruits, other vegetables, and let's
- 5:23Speaker 1: let's get a hang on it before we frighten people
- 5:25Speaker 1: from eating all the good things that it's mostly.
- 5:28Speaker 6: I think we are getting a hang on it now.
- 5:30Speaker 6: There have been some new cases, less than there have
- 5:32Speaker 6: been in the past, so I think that we now
- 5:35Speaker 6: have a way to handle this. I will say this,
- 5:38Speaker 6: and I love doctor Poland, and he might be the
- 5:40Speaker 6: top infectious disease expert in the country, So who am
- 5:44Speaker 6: I to go up against him? But every group seems
- 5:48Speaker 6: to think it's cutbacks in the federal government. The federal
- 5:50Speaker 6: government was bloated, and so was the CDC was bloated.
- 5:54Speaker 6: So I'm always reluctant to go there because it's an
- 5:58Speaker 6: easy out. Every time something happens, Oh, it's doge, it's doge.
- 6:02Speaker 6: It's not always doge, one of the other diseases that
- 6:06Speaker 6: we've stopped really covering in this country because it hasn't
- 6:09Speaker 6: affected America. Is that maybe the worst of all the
- 6:13Speaker 6: disease is ebola. It's a death sentence. It seems to
- 6:16Speaker 6: be a death sentence when you get it. They just
- 6:19Speaker 6: had their one thousand deaths.
- 6:22Speaker 8: There are places where you have one community death in
- 6:24Speaker 8: a new area and in a few days you have
- 6:26Speaker 8: seventeen new cases. It's such a great example of how
- 6:31Speaker 8: infectious anyone is that stays in the community as soon
- 6:34Speaker 8: as they have symptoms.
- 6:36Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, you don't even hear about ebola anymore,
- 6:39Speaker 6: and yet it is rampant now in parts of northwestern
- 6:44Speaker 6: Africa and so in like the Congo and some of
- 6:47Speaker 6: the surrounding countries. It is incredible how fast it grows.
- 6:53Speaker 6: One person gets it, seventeen more go. And also the
- 6:57Speaker 6: care takers, the many women who risk them. You know,
- 7:00Speaker 6: they go in with the hashmat shoots. But it's tough,
- 7:03Speaker 6: and some of them get ill and many of them
- 7:05Speaker 6: unfortunately perish. It's a horrible way to die. Yeah, right
- 7:09Speaker 6: way to die. And we have many Americans over there.
- 7:11Speaker 6: I remember early on the great concern you had about
- 7:15Speaker 6: it spreading to this country, and I didn't think that
- 7:19Speaker 6: was possible. I remember the elastee bullet out break. We
- 7:22Speaker 6: had a couple cases here that were quarantined immediately and
- 7:26Speaker 6: it did not spread in this country. But I'll tell
- 7:29Speaker 6: you what if it keeps growing and we don't handle this,
- 7:34Speaker 6: if the world doesn't handle this, if the world keeps
- 7:37Speaker 6: ignoring this, it'll come to our doorsteps.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Eventually. We can't let this get out of there. Absolutely. Now,
- 7:45Speaker 1: speaking of doorsteps, I did my fiduciary duty. I went
- 7:50Speaker 1: to Taco Bell on thirty sixth Street, right south of
- 7:53Speaker 1: Brian Park on sixth Avenue Place was packed at two
- 7:56Speaker 1: thirty in the afternoon. They really do a good job
- 7:58Speaker 1: of assembling the orders. And I went in there and
- 8:01Speaker 1: they were starting to sell the one dollar lettuce free
- 8:05Speaker 1: and curedos to quell all the backside, all the backlash
- 8:10Speaker 1: about the parasite problems that everyone thinks that they've had
- 8:14Speaker 1: with the lettuce that's stuffed into a lot of their products.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Imagine a dollar lettuce free in curritos and people are
- 8:21Speaker 1: lying up you offered them up for a dollar. There
- 8:26Speaker 1: people were screaming, Taco Bell forever, you might ride or die.
- 8:30Speaker 1: But food foot traffic is now twenty percent. Many people
- 8:35Speaker 1: were thinking when I was talking to them. The Taco
- 8:37Speaker 1: Bell started in Mexico. No started in California, in Irvine
- 8:42Speaker 1: and in Downey. It tried twice to set up in
- 8:46Speaker 1: Mexico in nineteen ninety two Mexico City. They ventured in
- 8:50Speaker 1: work two thousand and seven, Monterrey. The Mexican say, that's
- 8:54Speaker 1: not real tacos, that's not real Mexican food. So it's
- 8:58Speaker 1: an American company. That's that's really hurting. So I know.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Originally I said that I was going to buy the
- 9:05Speaker 1: Taco Bells and bring them in here. You remember, I
- 9:08Speaker 1: made that promise to our audience. And then Tom Cuddy
- 9:11Speaker 1: did an intervention. He said, don't you damn We need Natalie,
- 9:17Speaker 1: we need Larry, we need you, we need Crash, we
- 9:20Speaker 1: need our crew. So I went around his dictate, I
- 9:25Speaker 1: purchased it, and I brought it over to my enemy
- 9:28Speaker 1: of all enemies, Elvis Duran, because as you know, Nancy
- 9:31Speaker 1: listens to Elvis Duran and Z one hundred and not us,
- 9:34Speaker 1: never has and all the time I've known him. So
- 9:38Speaker 1: I said to them, hey, you want some tacos yesterday?
- 9:42Speaker 1: And he said, oh, yeah, you know the super Crunch Talkers.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I said your wish is my command. And I went
- 9:48Speaker 1: out and I bought him, and I put him out
- 9:51Speaker 1: there on the table outside of Z one hundred in
- 9:54Speaker 1: a bed of extra tail of lettuce because they can't
- 9:58Speaker 1: sell that lettuce, a huge bag of it from the
- 10:02Speaker 1: Taco Bell. Now, you know these young people, they probably
- 10:05Speaker 1: were drinking all night, haven't eaten anything in the morning.
- 10:08Speaker 1: I will bet you they've eaten those Taco Bell super
- 10:13Speaker 1: crunchy tacos.
- 10:18Speaker 6: Now, hold on one second, because in the trial when
- 10:21Speaker 6: they sue you, yeah, they're gonna pull that clip that
- 10:24Speaker 6: you just said admitting to doing this.
- 10:26Speaker 1: I have no money line up. But how long does
- 10:31Speaker 1: it take you did research on this for the possible
- 10:34Speaker 1: ramification stay anywhere Montezuma's Revenge?
- 10:37Speaker 6: Yeah, anywhere from two days to two weeks, and the
- 10:39Speaker 6: averages seven days, So we might have to wait till
- 10:42Speaker 6: next week.
- 10:43Speaker 1: If well, all of a sudden, all of them are out,
- 10:45Speaker 1: you might be in some trouble. Call it Curtis's revenge.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I'll get you Elvis if it's the last thing. I
- 10:51Speaker 1: don't meantime up next, it was the one year anniversary
- 10:54Speaker 1: of the death of Ozzy Osbourne, hated by so many
- 10:57Speaker 1: initially and be loved at the end of his life,
- 11:01Speaker 1: plus a chance to see John Mellencamp.
- 11:04Speaker 9: Next, I'm burning body with the wr traffic. With the
- 11:09Speaker 9: crash cleared on the Arizona Bridge heading into Brooklyn, we
- 11:12Speaker 9: still have delays on the stand On Expressway back from
- 11:15Speaker 9: Highland Boulevard Exit fourteen, and the outbound Guan is heavy
- 11:18Speaker 9: from Fort Hamilton Parkway trying to head towards the Arizona Bridge.
- 11:21Speaker 9: There was earlier emergency cruise knocking out a lane. Staton
- 11:24Speaker 9: Island bound upper level good at the George Washington Bridge. Honestly,
- 11:27Speaker 9: it's only about fifteen to twenty minutes in for either level.
- 11:30Speaker 9: There is some outbound lower level construction with the right
- 11:33Speaker 9: lane blocked on the New York side till two point thirty,
- 11:35Speaker 9: so that's busy. Coming off the westbound Cross Bronx back

- 12:40Speaker 1: Jimmy Fayla I was talking to the President about my
- 12:42Speaker 1: son Lincoln while he was sitting at Abraham Lincoln's desk,
- 12:45Speaker 1: and the only thing I could think about was how
- 12:46Speaker 1: the hell Monica Lewinsky fit under that thing. Jimmy Fayala
- 12:50Speaker 1: Weeknights HAD nine on seven to ten wor.
- 12:54Speaker 11: Our iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital Line.

- 13:03Speaker 8: Dizzy Pleasant.
- 13:04Speaker 6: Ozzy Osbourne died one year ago yesterday at the age
- 13:09Speaker 6: of seventy six. He's still being remembered all around the world.
- 13:13Speaker 6: There were tributes for him yesterday, both on concert stages
- 13:17Speaker 6: and magazines. The BBC did a full documentary. He's known
- 13:22Speaker 6: globally of course as the Prince of Darkness, but we
- 13:26Speaker 6: got to know him in his reality show and he
- 13:29Speaker 6: was nothing but you know, he was just mister cleaver.
- 13:33Speaker 6: He had two kids that he was trying to take
- 13:35Speaker 6: care of. He couldn't figure out how to work his appliances,
- 13:39Speaker 6: and it was a new part of his life and
- 13:42Speaker 6: he became just more loved. Before he was loved by
- 13:46Speaker 6: a certain audience, right, he was loved by those who
- 13:51Speaker 6: really loved heavy metal because he was the best. And
- 13:54Speaker 6: then when he had the reality show on MTV, the
- 13:58Speaker 6: world got the love.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Of Well, remember it when John Cardinal O'Connor said that
- 14:05Speaker 1: he is a help to the devil. Jimmy schwagged from
- 14:08Speaker 1: his pulpit, and his churches, cathedral and baton rouge railed
- 14:12Speaker 1: against him. And they always cited what may have been
- 14:16Speaker 1: an urban myths. Did he bite off the head of
- 14:20Speaker 1: a bat on stage or a dove with a blood
- 14:24Speaker 1: tripping from his lips? Oh my god. Back then that
- 14:29Speaker 1: was like if if you were saying you follow Black
- 14:32Speaker 1: Sabbath or Ozzi Osborne, you was satanic. In fact, he
- 14:37Speaker 1: was thrown out of Black Sabbath for drinking too much
- 14:40Speaker 1: and doing too much drugs in a rock and roll bit.
- 14:44Speaker 6: Do you ever hear him talk about biting the bat?
- 14:46Speaker 6: He said, somebody throw it on the stage and he
- 14:48Speaker 6: thought it was a rubber bat. He didn't think it
- 14:50Speaker 6: was a real bat. And he said, then when I
- 14:53Speaker 6: bid it, I was like, oh man, what could I
- 14:55Speaker 6: get from this? But so everybody thought that was like
- 14:59Speaker 6: he knew all along. Oh no, no, I love that
- 15:02Speaker 6: Diary of a mad Man. You know, he played he
- 15:05Speaker 6: was that personality. But you're right when he did that
- 15:08Speaker 6: reality show with the subtitles underneath, you know, because he
- 15:12Speaker 6: had the Parkinsen's But that was similar to Muhammad Ali.
- 15:15Speaker 6: Remember Muhammad Ali's Cassius Clay changes his name, becomes a
- 15:19Speaker 6: black Muslim. Is following Malcolm ch hated now by America
- 15:23Speaker 6: and then towards the end beloved by not only Americans
- 15:26Speaker 6: but the world. Yeah, he had Parkinson's disease.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I'll tell you.
- 15:30Speaker 6: His son Jack said that he always thought that when
- 15:33Speaker 6: his father died, he thought, man, this day is going
- 15:36Speaker 6: to suck. But he said, the outpouring from the entire
- 15:40Speaker 6: world made us realize because to us he was just
- 15:43Speaker 6: our dad. Made us realize his contribution to the world
- 15:47Speaker 6: and how much he was loved. And he said specifically
- 15:51Speaker 6: he wanted to thank everybody on this day of remembrance.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, his wife Sharon was so
- 15:58Speaker 1: upset when he he left La with the family to
- 16:02Speaker 1: go back to England to get medical care, and she said,
- 16:05Speaker 1: are you nut We got the best medical care in
- 16:08Speaker 1: the world here in Ellie. He goes, no, I want
- 16:11Speaker 1: to go home to England, which signaled that he was
- 16:14Speaker 1: wrapping it up.
- 16:16Speaker 6: Let's get some talkbacks. I know a lot of you
- 16:18Speaker 6: want to talk about Mikey Cheryl. Yesterday, she came out
- 16:21Speaker 6: and said that she was exposing the fact that there
- 16:26Speaker 6: were six six hundred non citizens on the voting rolls.
- 16:29Speaker 6: It turns out that was taking care of a couple
- 16:32Speaker 6: of years later, and she said it was software.
- 16:35Speaker 12: She lied, Oh my god, maggas are so dumb. The
- 16:39Speaker 12: four hundred votes represent zero point zero one percent and
- 16:42Speaker 12: it wasn't even one sided. This was not fraud. This
- 16:46Speaker 12: was clerical incompetence. And yes, Cheryl made a fool of
- 16:49Speaker 12: herself by trying to cover her ass, but it's not fraud.
- 16:53Speaker 12: So you know, calm down, magus.
- 16:55Speaker 6: Well how do you know that, How do you know
- 16:58Speaker 6: it's not fraud? How do you know this is pervasive?
- 17:00Speaker 6: We were told over and over and over again that
- 17:04Speaker 6: we were ridiculous, just like you're trying to say now
- 17:06Speaker 6: that everybody was ridiculous for thinking that there's none of it,
- 17:10Speaker 6: none of it in the country. Then we find out yesterday,
- 17:13Speaker 6: oh no, there is some and now we're going to
- 17:16Speaker 6: have a national investigation. And she probably just pushed through
- 17:20Speaker 6: the Save Act. We're gonna wait and see. But uh, yeah,
- 17:23Speaker 6: I love when you say that, because you say that
- 17:26Speaker 6: over and over and over again, and then it turns
- 17:30Speaker 6: out to be true.
- 17:32Speaker 13: Curtis, you're saying it's convenient to have illegals have driver's
- 17:38Speaker 13: licenses because they have to get the work. No, they
- 17:41Speaker 13: don't have to get the work. If they get a
- 17:43Speaker 13: driver's license, across the freaking border and go back home,
- 17:46Speaker 13: that's where they go. I don't want them in my
- 17:48Speaker 13: country if they're illegally here. If they come in as
- 17:52Speaker 13: immigrants and they go through the process, God bless them.
- 17:56Speaker 13: My grandparents did it. Get the illegals out?
- 17:59Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll go out and pick the crops yourself,
- 18:02Speaker 1: including the tomatoes and lettuce. And Natalie loves to shop
- 18:05Speaker 1: for a new jersey or milk to cows or care
- 18:08Speaker 1: for the elderly in long term nursing home care units.
- 18:13Speaker 1: That has not been resolved yet. Meantime, let's give away
- 18:16Speaker 1: some tickets right now, right now, at say thirty, and
- 18:20Speaker 1: let's get the news from Daria.
- 18:22Speaker 10: President Trump warning Iran every time it shoots at a
- 18:24Speaker 10: ship in the Strait of Hormuz, the US will bomb
- 18:26Speaker 10: and destroy one bridge or power plant, including in the
- 18:30Speaker 10: capital of Tehran. His warning comes as.
- 18:32Speaker 3: The US carries out a twelfth.
- 18:34Speaker 10: Night of attacks, Iran's foreign minister responding that his nation's

- 19:46Speaker 1: Ye, I apologize I was so quick to jump to
- 19:49Speaker 1: qcuz I was amazed. Last night I was in Times
- 19:53Speaker 1: Square for celebration of our two hundred and fiftieth birthday
- 19:57Speaker 1: with artists with the Beans, dancers, performers. Times Square was packed.
- 20:05Speaker 1: They did the national anthem, they did God Bless America,
- 20:09Speaker 1: America the beautiful, They did it all. Wait do you
- 20:13Speaker 1: hear about it? And how you bribed me because I
- 20:17Speaker 1: was the judge. Wait, dear, it is our iHeart Radio

- 20:46Speaker 1: It doesn't end our focus on our nations two hundred
- 20:51Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary, our birthday, and it brought me to
- 20:56Speaker 1: Times Square last night. I would have thought. But that's it,
- 21:01Speaker 1: you know, the Times Square Alliance which had to keep
- 21:03Speaker 1: that whole area spick and span because of all the
- 21:09Speaker 1: tourists who were there for World Cup you know a
- 21:11Speaker 1: long time and you remember seeing crowdsinger. They did an
- 21:14Speaker 1: outstanding job. But Tom Harris, who's been there a long time,
- 21:19Speaker 1: outdated himself along with a group of artists and performers
- 21:25Speaker 1: and Thesbians, you know, from a world in which you
- 21:29Speaker 1: didn't think that art would bring us all together. In
- 21:32Speaker 1: the gateway to the world, which is Times Square, there
- 21:37Speaker 1: was the biggest hot dog there that you've ever seen
- 21:40Speaker 1: in your life, sixty five feet long and it's on
- 21:45Speaker 1: view in Duffy Square, in Times Square till August eighth.
- 21:50Speaker 1: It would look like a Patriot missile, like being ready
- 21:53Speaker 1: to be launched, you know on halftrack. Amazing put together
- 21:58Speaker 1: by Jen Catch and pull Outlaw. They assembled the artists
- 22:02Speaker 1: and the performance there from Greenpoint and I mean it
- 22:06Speaker 1: was classic national anthem was done.
- 22:09Speaker 6: You can ask you about the hot dog for a second.
- 22:11Speaker 6: You said it looked like a Patriot missile. How thick
- 22:13Speaker 6: was it?
- 22:14Speaker 1: Huge? Look when I competed in the Oscar maya hot
- 22:19Speaker 1: dog eating contest. You know, they had the Wienermobile afterwards.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I finished second. I rode the Wienermobile all over the
- 22:26Speaker 1: city on top of the Wiener, you know, without a saddle.
- 22:30Speaker 1: It was great. This is twice this big.
- 22:33Speaker 5: So it's not it's not a real hot dog. This
- 22:35Speaker 5: is an art installation.
- 22:38Speaker 1: You think it's an art installation. To me, it looked
- 22:40Speaker 1: like a real hot dog with a mustard. The relish
- 22:43Speaker 1: the whole nine yards and he was there. How did
- 22:45Speaker 1: they cook that?
- 22:46Speaker 5: No, it's it's not a real hot dog.
- 22:48Speaker 14: He's just saying it's a real hot it's gonna he said,
- 22:51Speaker 14: it's going to be in Time Square for a week.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. Let people see for themselves.
- 22:56Speaker 5: I'm going there tonight. I will take a photo.
- 22:59Speaker 1: It good, and you come.
- 23:00Speaker 4: Back and I actually have some great pictures of you
- 23:02Speaker 4: from the event last night that we'll post.
- 23:03Speaker 1: But now imagine you know the kind of group, and
- 23:05Speaker 1: it's a coclectic group in Times Square, and you would
- 23:09Speaker 1: think artists and performers are very progressive, very liberal. They
- 23:12Speaker 1: offer them most far. Everybody did the national anthem with
- 23:16Speaker 1: their hand over their heart, God bless America, America, the beautiful.
- 23:22Speaker 1: This actually brought us all together, no politics, no politics,
- 23:26Speaker 1: And it was a contest who was called the most
- 23:29Speaker 1: American pageant ever. And I was one of the judges.
- 23:33Speaker 1: But everybody was told beforehand, start listening to w O
- 23:37Speaker 1: watch seven ten with Larry and Curtis in the morning,
- 23:40Speaker 1: because you can't bribe him. They offered him ten million
- 23:43Speaker 1: dollars to drop out of the mayoral race. But he
- 23:46Speaker 1: does have a predilection. So the contestants, what do you
- 23:49Speaker 1: think They came with honey buns. They did not look
- 23:54Speaker 1: honey buns. Bags and bags and honey buns. Yeah yeah,
- 24:01Speaker 1: these are the best man, these are the hostess ones.
- 24:04Speaker 1: So they're all lining up. That's a bribe. Hell yeah,
- 24:07Speaker 1: did it work? Well? Let me tell you the final
- 24:10Speaker 1: two contestants. So they're up on the stage, they're performing.
- 24:15Speaker 1: They're like whirling dervishes. They're moving. Now. I'm a pretty
- 24:18Speaker 1: good dancer and I can twist, I can twerk. I
- 24:21Speaker 1: could not compete with these nine contestants. And then it
- 24:25Speaker 1: came down to two, the final two, according to the judges,
- 24:30Speaker 1: one was Kiki ball Change. She was a drag queen.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Oh thank god, it's not a real last name. A
- 24:40Speaker 1: drag queen who was doing an imitation of Milanya Trump,
- 24:45Speaker 1: and let me tell you something, she captured the voice.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Then she went into all of her gyrations. She did
- 24:52Speaker 1: a full split bam. I thought for sure she was
- 24:56Speaker 1: gonna win. She was the crowd's favorite, but had to
- 25:00Speaker 1: hurt though. Number eight, Spike Einbinder came out. Spike dressed
- 25:08Speaker 1: in Guardian Angel, red Satine jacket and red berets, sucking
- 25:13Speaker 1: up to the judge. Wow, that's what That's what I
- 25:18Speaker 1: thought too. I gotta tell you. Uh, his partner E
- 25:23Speaker 1: came dressed as a yellow cab with a gun sticking
- 25:27Speaker 1: out of it.
- 25:28Speaker 5: It's a gun free zone over there.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Yeah, well tell them to the performance right. This is
- 25:33Speaker 1: performance hard. I love performance hard. And Spike did all
- 25:37Speaker 1: these gyrations to all these and then they played a
- 25:40Speaker 1: bed of audio of my sound bites during the campaign.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Everybody in Times Square heard it and their heads popped up.
- 25:47Speaker 1: That Curtis that they were thinking that Spike was actually me.
- 25:51Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, Spike was moving and moving
- 25:54Speaker 1: in all different directions and then choreographed a movement with
- 25:58Speaker 1: the taxi cab. The guy was in the taxi cab
- 26:01Speaker 1: with the gun like getting shot all on the ground.
- 26:04Speaker 1: So I announced that I was recusing myself. Horrible, it's horrible.
- 26:12Speaker 1: So I announced that I was recusing myself, which was
- 26:15Speaker 1: only fair. So three judges left and by a two
- 26:18Speaker 1: to one vote, they picked Spike to win the Most
- 26:22Speaker 1: American Patriotic Ever contest. With American flags festooned everywhere, nobody
- 26:27Speaker 1: was burning them or turning them upside down. Everybody had
- 26:31Speaker 1: a great time. I think the one thing that I
- 26:33Speaker 1: learned from this, because I didn't know what I'd be
- 26:35Speaker 1: going into this, I had no idea, is that when
- 26:39Speaker 1: performance art is done well, when it's entertaining and it
- 26:43Speaker 1: doesn't have a political edge to it, like we've been
- 26:46Speaker 1: talking about comedians and performers, and it's just performance art,
- 26:51Speaker 1: you get it, you see, you sort of get the
- 26:53Speaker 1: hand of it, but it's not in your face. It
- 26:57Speaker 1: really was patriotic. And again to the Time Square Alliance
- 27:00Speaker 1: in their art division, these are young men and women
- 27:02Speaker 1: who've come from all over the country. We don't realize this,
- 27:05Speaker 1: Natalie and and Larry. We take it for advantage. We've
- 27:09Speaker 1: grown up here. They've come to New York to practice
- 27:13Speaker 1: their craft. You should see them young, you college like energetic.
- 27:18Speaker 1: It really made me feel great about this city.
- 27:21Speaker 6: And I'll tell you what makes me feel great about
- 27:23Speaker 6: your story. And the thing I'm going to hold on
- 27:25Speaker 6: to for a long time is that we make this
- 27:28Speaker 6: assumption that people are anti American because they're on the
- 27:32Speaker 6: other side. We make this assumption that because you're a liberal,
- 27:37Speaker 6: or because you live in New York, or because you
- 27:39Speaker 6: won't don't agree with the government all the time, you're
- 27:41Speaker 6: anti American. But what you said that it was Democrats
- 27:45Speaker 6: and Republicans. It was people on both sides of the issue,
- 27:48Speaker 6: probably mostly Democrats. Getting involved in a patriotic song and
- 27:52Speaker 6: being patriotic and paying tribute to America is really heartwarming
- 27:57Speaker 6: and it makes me look at everything differently. It's just
- 28:01Speaker 6: the mayor that does all that.
- 28:03Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Then, but they learned that I
- 28:05Speaker 1: could be bribed not with money but with honey bunch. Anyway,
- 28:09Speaker 1: up next are on Natalie Migliori went downstairs to ask
- 28:13Speaker 1: New Yorkers about the tailor lettuce and the taco bell
- 28:17Speaker 1: and the spread of this disease. And she is eating
- 28:22Speaker 1: the tailor lettuce, the bag that I bought over for
- 28:25Speaker 1: c one hundred and you gonna want to hear about
- 28:27Speaker 1: that later on in the program too. Don't tell you
- 28:31Speaker 1: now It's seventy ten w o rs. Beat on the
- 28:35Speaker 1: Street with Natalie Megliori.
- 28:38Speaker 6: Well, speakers at colleges have been booed when they mentioned AI.
- 28:44Speaker 1: What's the matter? What are you looking at me for? What?
- 28:45Speaker 2: AI?
- 28:46Speaker 3: We're not talking about that, talking about Lettuce?
- 28:48Speaker 14: Oh no, all right, sorry, we were talking about her.
- 28:52Speaker 14: Rewinder that, well, speakers and colleges are booed when they
- 28:57Speaker 14: talk about Lettuce.
- 28:59Speaker 9: Say out.
- 29:01Speaker 15: And and and Curtis isn't doing anybody. Uh, he just
- 29:04Speaker 15: stuffed out. I watched his stuff down a hot dog
- 29:06Speaker 15: and Taylor, I'm like, Taylor Farms put that goesl on you,
- 29:10Speaker 15: hot dog?
- 29:11Speaker 3: Curtis, how you feeling.
- 29:13Speaker 1: I'll let you know about an hour or show.
- 29:15Speaker 15: We could thank our friends from Time Square Alliance. They're
- 29:17Speaker 15: the best over there. And I just did you have
- 29:20Speaker 15: one yet, Larry hot Dog?
- 29:21Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 29:21Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, you guys have to let me know
- 29:23Speaker 3: if there's uh, there's Taylor.
- 29:25Speaker 1: From I just sour c I had no letters, I know.
- 29:31Speaker 3: But I was like, maybe, well what is sour Crow?
- 29:33Speaker 3: Made out him? Anyway? We're getting ahead of my mom.
- 29:36Speaker 5: That is cabbage, by the way.
- 29:37Speaker 11: Cabbage cool, okay, all right, making ourselves feel better before
- 29:43Speaker 11: it hits No, the ongoing outbreak to this cyclost bariasis
- 29:47Speaker 11: is just ongoing, roughly eleven thousand cases, and the CDC
- 29:51Speaker 11: says that could be even higher because they're continuously testing reports.
- 29:56Speaker 11: So at least five states, including New York, have reported
- 29:59Speaker 11: caseload in the hundreds to the thousands.
- 30:03Speaker 3: The CDC says there are at least.
- 30:04Speaker 15: Five separate clusters under investigation, one of which is where
- 30:09Speaker 15: the joke comes in, linked to tailor farms lettuce.
- 30:12Speaker 3: Have people changed up their routines.
- 30:16Speaker 16: I'm still eating it. I just love salads and I
- 30:19Speaker 16: need to eat it with every meal, so I'm still
- 30:21Speaker 16: eating it.
- 30:22Speaker 12: Well, I definitely stay away from taco bell I've heard
- 30:25Speaker 12: that on the news.
- 30:26Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that. I'm not confused.
- 30:28Speaker 12: I know it's pretty widespread, but in terms of total numbers,
- 30:31Speaker 12: I think the cases are still relatively small. Hensa virus
- 30:35Speaker 12: all it is extra stuff and the little worms in
- 30:37Speaker 12: the veggies, the fruits and stuff.
- 30:39Speaker 1: So it's like, what's going.
- 30:40Speaker 13: On with that?
- 30:41Speaker 1: Right? I'm definitely wondering where it's coming from.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Because if I'm eating fruits and veggies, get any smoothies,
- 30:46Speaker 3: I don't I don't want to heavy like five six minutes.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Later, you know.
- 30:51Speaker 3: He's concerned about going to the bathroom a few minutes later.
- 30:54Speaker 3: If this is in his system, now.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Well we'll just show a correction because Larry, doctor Larry
- 30:59Speaker 1: is on the deep dive. It would kick in anywhere
- 31:02Speaker 1: from two to twelve days, but most likely upon the
- 31:06Speaker 1: seventh day after.
- 31:07Speaker 15: I'm so glad because that's what I was going to say, just.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Wanted to and also you wouldn't be able to see
- 31:16Speaker 3: the power site.
- 31:17Speaker 15: There's not necessarily like worms going around the lettuce. That's
- 31:20Speaker 15: why officials are saying, please clean your veggies or coke
- 31:24Speaker 15: them if you're going to eat them. Now, the FDA
- 31:25Speaker 15: says dozens of states may be impacted, but the outbreak
- 31:29Speaker 15: investigation has only been ongoing in five states, not necessarily
- 31:33Speaker 15: New York. We're just reporting a lot of cases. But
- 31:36Speaker 15: Raven says if the last night, that might have to change.
- 31:40Speaker 17: I had a salad yesterday and my stomach is really
- 31:43Speaker 17: messed up today. So you see how fast I'm walking
- 31:45Speaker 17: That's why I'm trying to go.
- 31:47Speaker 1: No way.
- 31:48Speaker 17: I had a chicken season salad yesterday, and I'm going
- 31:52Speaker 17: to hear about this whole thing that's going on with
- 31:53Speaker 17: the letter is And yeah, I don't even know why
- 31:56Speaker 17: he's still sell it on.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Wait a second, where'd you get the salad from can station?
- 32:00Speaker 17: Half those little delis and they have them like pre made?
- 32:03Speaker 3: Were you even thinking about it when you bought the salad?
- 32:05Speaker 17: Or no, I wasn't even thinking about it. No, But
- 32:08Speaker 17: I know I'm suffering because I work overnight or night longer.
- 32:12Speaker 5: I'm telling you, Oh.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Did you hear the poor woman she had to get
- 32:16Speaker 1: to the pot? I kept talking door, hold on and
- 32:19Speaker 1: talking door.
- 32:20Speaker 3: She was I did say at the end, thank you.
- 32:22Speaker 3: I wish you luck in this fight with the toilet apparent.
- 32:26Speaker 3: And she was great. She was great. Honestly, She's like, oh.
- 32:30Speaker 4: No, seriously, hopefully she just has some kind of stomach yelmen,
- 32:33Speaker 4: and not this.
- 32:33Speaker 3: She said she went four times over overnight. I love it. Now,
- 32:40Speaker 3: I can't. We didn't get into that. Now.
- 32:43Speaker 15: Are people concerned about how lettuce is being cleaned when
- 32:47Speaker 15: they're not eating at home?
- 32:49Speaker 16: I cleaned to worry about all the time, no matter
- 32:52Speaker 16: what is happening. I am worried about restaurants, but I'm
- 32:55Speaker 16: trying to cook home.
- 32:57Speaker 17: Yeah, I wouldn't know that because it's like as far
- 32:59Speaker 17: as it's like pre made, who knows where they made it,
- 33:01Speaker 17: might be contaminated at the whoever the factory they made
- 33:04Speaker 17: it at, So I don't know if it don't come
- 33:06Speaker 17: from No, I'm not even gonna eat letus. I'm not
- 33:07Speaker 17: gonna say I'm gonn prepare them at my house. I'm
- 33:09Speaker 17: just stay away from it, that's all.
- 33:10Speaker 15: Yeah, after her experience, she was she's not putting up.
- 33:13Speaker 15: She's not putting up with it anymore. She's rushing off
- 33:15Speaker 15: to the toilet. Look, I know you all want the visual.
- 33:18Speaker 15: This is the explosive diet.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Well you're talking about everts worn.
- 33:26Speaker 3: That was my sarcasm kicking in.
- 33:28Speaker 1: But okay.
- 33:28Speaker 15: So experts warn the side effects could include being stuck
- 33:32Speaker 15: on the toilet, nausea, and losing weight.
- 33:35Speaker 3: Some New Yorkers say after last.
- 33:37Speaker 15: Week, a lot of people were like, that's not the
- 33:39Speaker 15: way to do it, But this week some say that's
- 33:41Speaker 15: not necessarily the worst thing.
- 33:44Speaker 16: Maybe list some water weight, it's not at bad and
- 33:47Speaker 16: stay at home from work.
- 33:49Speaker 1: That big JLP one. So listen, if you gotta eat
- 33:52Speaker 1: some veggies, heat some fruits to get the parasite and
- 33:55Speaker 1: lose some weight. Six people, those are crazy.
- 33:58Speaker 14: You know.
- 34:00Speaker 3: Somebody is open about it. Yeah, he definitely was not
- 34:06Speaker 3: boring in a second.
- 34:07Speaker 1: You're one of those people you have to get into
- 34:09Speaker 1: a wedding dress. You said, this kid.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Telling you, I'm eating the lettuce every day.
- 34:13Speaker 11: I'm trying your different brands, the store brands, tael of Form,
- 34:17Speaker 11: send me tail of form, send me all your letters.
- 34:19Speaker 4: Though, Honestly, people, I'm shocked that people haven't heard about this.
- 34:23Speaker 5: It really surprising to me.
- 34:24Speaker 15: She was living under cabbage. That's why instead of a rock,
- 34:27Speaker 15: she was living always the DeBie down.
- 34:30Speaker 5: People do not want to get this. This isn't like
- 34:32Speaker 5: a twenty four hour stomach bug. People are in the
- 34:35Speaker 5: hospital for twenty days.
- 34:36Speaker 15: Yeah, they've reported a couple hundred hospitalization.
- 34:39Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, sorry, I know you're on it.
- 34:42Speaker 1: I know you're making me feel a little guilty. Yeah,
- 34:45Speaker 1: you have Elvis Duran. Later in the show, he actually
- 34:48Speaker 1: ate the tacole bell that I brought him.
- 34:50Speaker 15: You're gonna have to wait two weeks though up to
- 34:53Speaker 15: to see if that impacts him.
